Has anybody running a umail and/or uucp under Minix 1.5 on a Atari ST?
I tried the umail and uucp from plains.nodak.edu, but had some
problems to get it run.

Hi there,

in case this interests anybody else: I have umail/uucp running on an ST with
MINIX 1.5. There was actually only one big problem I can remember: The
UUCICO would quit with a signal 11 when it was supposed to receive a protocol
message. As it turned out, the prototype for malloc (in stdlib.h) was not
available at compile time because stdlib.h was not included. Thus mallocs
were truncated to 16 bits whihc resultet in garbage.

After I'd found that bug, everything worked fine.

So long,
Martin
